Some in our player group are getting ready for Operation Hailstone. Five hundred USN aircraft attacked Truk Lagoon otherwise known as The Gibraltar of the Pacific. Four missions are planned, Fighter Sweep, Torpedo Plane Attack, Dive Bomber Attack and Counterattack vs the USN Fleet by surviving Japanese planes. We will be using the celebrated Bag The Hun rules by Too Fat Lardies with modifications to fly without hexagons. One of many Fighter Sweep tests before game day is here. link Photos are shown with brief captions to follow the action. Respectfully, Bill P. Chronicler for The Adventures of General Pettygree PS The General is currently in The Philippines on a different assignment.
